Commander Draft Cube
Posted: Sun Feb 13, 2022 10:53 pm
So, I recently managed to get together with my old playgroup and drafted the box of Commander Legends I bought way back when it came out.
(Wish it had been sooner, there was a foil Hullbreacher in it, oh well.)
I really like the format, and wanted to put together a cube to mimic the structure of Commander Legends draft. But I'm not sure where to begin. Since the decks and packs are much larger than normal draft play, a normal cube guideline wouldn't apply, I think. And the only guides or examples I've seen of Commander Cubes use a different draft method, with picking commanders from a draft pool first, then drafting the rest of the cards. But I like the idea of hitting a good commander in a later pack and pivoting into it, especially with lots of partners, where you could swing from a lackluster pair into a better one if you find a partner in pack 2 or 3.
So, I'm here looking for any tips from the community!
I've got a lot of the partners from Legends, and also the original partners, plus I was looking at the "Partner with" options, and considering errata-ing them to just "Partner" for the purpose of the cube, and also potentially the "Friends Forever" too.
